I have a 2002 flareside sport with a 5.4. I looked into doing the Lightning clone thing too. A client of mine builds hot rods and he researched it for me, he felt it was not worth the bother. Another down side to spending all that money is in the end you still just have a standard F150, a genuine Lightning will cost less in many cases and will hold its' value a whole lot better. My youngest daughter loves our truck and if I give it to her this summer, I will go on a hunt for a clean Lightning. They are a whole lot of fun to drive.
